10/14/2019 4:31:00 PM | Women's Soccer
LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell junior forward Jenna Marek made the most of her limited minutes last week, scoring the winning goal in the women's soccer team's important 1-0 victory at Colgate on Saturday afternoon. On Monday, Marek was named the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week.
Marek, a native of Orlando, Fla., missed last Tuesday's non-conference game against Columbia due to injury. Against Colgate on Saturday, Marek came on as a substitute in the 28th minute, and five minutes later she put the ball in the back of the net for the game's lone goal. Marek out-jumped a Colgate defender and the goalkeeper on a long cross in from Ali Russo, and she was able to head it home for her first goal of the season and sixth of her career.
Bucknell's defense was stellar down the stretch, and the Bison moved within one point of first place in the Patriot League. Navy tops the table with 10 points (3-1-1), followed by Bucknell with nine points (3-2-0) and Loyola and Lafayette with eight each (2-1-2).
Bucknell and Navy meet this Saturday at 11 a.m. in Annapolis with first place on the line.
